As Soon As I Can

Words & music by P.J. Pacifico

You fake half a smile as I'm done packing the car

For a months worth of shows out west and down below

You stand between me and my guitar

Your face says "don't go", but you tell me that you know

That this is what I need to do and baby, I thank you

CHORUS:

And you understand freedom

And you stand by your man

And you know the reason with no dis-believin'

Of knowin' now who I am

I'll be home just as soon as I can

Here are some smokes for the drive, I saved you my last 4 or 5

I'll call you when soundcheck is through, so I can say thank you

She says, "Stay out of the left lane!...so you don't leave me here a wreck".

I say, "Yeah, mama, sure. I don't wanna leave premature. Let me do one last idiot check. I don't wanna leave just yet".

CHORUS:

And you understand freedom

While you stand by your man

Darling don't you know I got 10 shows to go

This was all part of the plan

I'll be home just as soon as I can

If you could be here right now, you'd understand how

The road and the stage meet

After driving all day, now is finally my turn to play

CHORUS:

You understand freedom

And darlin here comes your man

I've been driving 7 hours

So honey, just let me shower

And I'll hold you for as long as I can

I'm gonna do this all again

Just as soon as I can
